International Women's Day: Expanding Cybersecurity Opportunities In The Era Of AI
Microsoft News, Friday, March 8th, 2024
March is a meaningful month for me personally as we honor Women's History Month and International Women's Day.
Some of the most powerful role models in my own life are the women who raised me and the community of women who've provided the support and encouragement that continues to empower me to believe that I can be anything I aspire to. In security, this is particularly important because women are still underrepresented and so critical to the future of our industry.
I've had the great fortune of working with many wonderful women throughout my career and one of the things I find so often to be true is that the path to a career in security does not have to be a linear one. There is no right way to come into this industry, no one background or training ground required. In fact, diversity of experiences and perspectives are the critical secret sauce to building a safer world for everyone.
